The nexNeuro System employs audio and vibroacoustics that engage the senses.
Using the latest technology in human-computer interaction; The nexNeuro System stimulants the brain and nervous system by enchancing and delivering natural stimulants (produced by one's body).
nexNeuro’s System automates the relaxation process, allowing individuals to realize the sensation of being totally stress free.
What is the SMART System?
The SMART System is a multisensory mat that combines music and vibration to induce the relaxation response. Our mat is designed to support the full body in a zero gravity position, recognized by NASA to relieve stress off the spine. Sound vibration is fed through the mat, sending vibration throughout the entire body and relaxing your muscles. The Rest Audio music is specially designed with low frequency sounds to activate the vibration in the mat while the soothing music calms the mind with binaural beat.. The combination of these sensory components induces the muscles to relax and the mind to quiet for total mind and body relaxation.
What is the Relaxation Response & Induced Relaxation?
Just as we have the "stress reaction" as a one of the body’s built-in response systems, so there is an innate “relaxation response”.
The relaxation response “undoes” the effects of what stress wreaks upon your body. The relaxation response helps decrease muscle tension, lowered heart rate and blood pressure creates a deeper breathing pattern, calms of the body and creates a peaceful, pleasant mood. The problem we face in managing stress is that the stress reaction is more easily elicited than the relaxation response. The stress reaction happens immediately without any effort on your part. A loud noise at this moment would startle you, and the stress reaction would speed through your body. A stress reaction happens automatically while the relaxation response must be purposefully sought and brought under control. While the relaxation response will occur naturally as when you sit on the beach watching the ocean; hectic modern society does not provide many chances for such natural elicitation. To control our stress we must persue an intentional practice to create a relaxation response.
“Induced Relaxation” is the unconscious movement into the “state of relaxation” by accelerating the relaxation response through guided stimulation of human senses: sight, hearing and touch.
We live in a world of long busy days. The SMART System enables you the ability to choose a convenient time to “take the time” to relax. On your schedule! Although our days seem to get longer, we seem to forget that our bodies require time to rest and recover. According to a Stanford Universary study - the average adult requires 8 or more hours of sleep, but generally get about 5-7 hours of sleep. A Gallop Poll concluded that 56% of the adult population reports that drowsiness in the daytime is a problem. Let's face it, the average adult needs more rest. And the SMART System is designed to give you the required rest periods with optimum results in a little as 20 to 30 minutes per session. The system triggers the relaxation response naturally without prescription drugs.
What are the therapies incorporated in the SMART System?
Vibroacoustics
Vibroacoustics is defined as “the process of hearing sound vibrations through the body.” This is accomplished with special transducers designed to vibrate the body with optimal psychological and physical impact. Vibroacoustic music (VAM) resonates the body directly through nerves, skin, and bones —the sound is not directed to the ears. Dr. Drew Pierson, a psychologist with electrical engineering experience says, “The body holds emotional events in cellular memory. The use of vibration from 4.5–1800 Hz has the effect of disengaging those resonant patterns that seem to run in loops and fixate themselves in the body. Vibroacoustics change the bio-electrical signature of the emotional imprint.”
Music therapy & Brain Entrainment
Music or sound therapy as it also called is not new. Ancient Greek philosophers believed that sound could heal both body and soul. Native Americans use singing and chanting as part of their healing rituals. The more formal approach to sound therapy began in World War II when the US Veterans hospitals began to use music to help treat soldiers returning from the war. In 1944, Michigan State University established the first music therapy degree program in the world. Today, many hospitals offer sound therapy in their conventional treatment programs. At NexNeuro, we have taken some of the most effective methods and incorporated them in our REST Audio Sound Software.
Brainwave entrainment is a safe, simple and pleasant way to relieve a variety of symptoms. It is now used in hospitals and clinics around the world. NexNeuro has partnered with experts in music, binaural beat and brainwave entrainment to assure the effectiveness of our REST Audio Sound Software.
What are the benefits of the SMART Therapeutic System?
The often hidden effects of stress on the body can cause such things as sleep disorders, stress and anxiety. The SMART lounge’s “Induced Relaxation” system aims to promote the relaxation response. Activating the relaxation response results in reduced blood pressure blood glucose levels, slower breathing and lower heart rates. Quoting Dr. Herbert Benson “Repeated activation of the “Relaxation Response” can reverse sustained problems in the body and mend the internal wear and tear brought on by stress”. The SMART Lounge is designed to automate the ‘Relaxation Response” which is a benefit to all.
Who can benefit from the SMART Lounge:
- Those stressed by family and work
- Those who are in ill health
- Caretakers of the ill
- Mediator’s
- Worker’s who need to clear their minds and open the doors to creativity
- Those who need to “unwind” before trying to sleep
